Authorities were investigating America's self-proclaimed toughest sheriff for his part in failed public corruption cases against officials who were odds with him. Arpaio brought cases against a judge and two county officials in 2009.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Ann Birmingham Scheel released a statement Friday saying her office "is closing its investigation into allegations of criminal conduct" by current and former members of the sheriff's and county attorney's offices.

Scheel didn't elaborate, saying only that county Attorney Bill Montgomery was advised of the decision "not to pursue state criminal charges related to the investigation."

A federal judge has yet to rule in a civil trial brought by a group of Latino plaintiffs that Arpaio or any of his deputies engaged in racial profiling.

Sadly, Obama and his left hand, Eric Holder, have politicized the DOJ and given it a bad reputation. This is but one episode in an increasingly growing list, ranging from voter intimidation by the Black Panthers, to the out-of-control ATF involved in "Fast and Furious."

Congratulations, Sheriff Joe.You somehow escaped the heavy boot on your neck by the Chicago Thugs Administration! You must be clean as a whistle...or else they may be afraid of your Investigation of them !Love and appreciate you, Sheriff for having the guts and the balls that NO ONE ELSE had! Great and Many Blessings be upon Thee and Thy house !...SHERIFF JOE. ENFORCING THE RULE OF LAW ! IMAGINE ......You know your Country is upside down when you can go to jail for an expired License plate, but be in the Country illegally and get off scott free.Even free schooling, food stamps, ....what a Country!

I live in Scottsdale and I have to say Sheriff Joe is a pretty good cop. A lot of people don't like his "tough on crime" attitude but Arpaio is also a strict disciplinarian as well. There have been a couple bad apples of course but Joe has bounced them out of the force in a heartbeat. I can't recall any of his deputies behaving like LAPD cops, body-slamming women and kicking them in their privates until they die. Those cops are from the Ramparts gang, the same guys who beat the snot out of Rodney King. Now they're attacking defenseless women.

The feds should be going after the cops who are in charge in Chicago. Why the heck are the cops standing idly by while people are gunning each other down in the streets at all hours of the day and night? Especially when it seems that most of the victims are black kids. Isn't there a civil rights issue involved here somewhere? I have the idea that if Sheriff Joe was put in charge of the Chicago cops, the media and the lefties would be screaming about how he's violating minority civil rights by racially profiling them. And the poor black kids keep dying.

Why wasn't Arpaio at the Republican Convention? He could have introduced Willard as the Birther In Chief, and his posse could have provided all the dirty details on how President Obama was born in Kenya. This was a missed opportunity for the GOP. I think Arpaio's posse should investigate how Rubio's grandfather overstayed his visa and became an illegal alien. The Latino vote is lost anyway might as well root out all the anchor babies.

"A federal judge has yet to rule in a civil trial brought by a group of Latino plaintiffs that Arpaio or any of his deputies engaged in racial profiling."

When these groups (any latino group or like La Raza and so on) do not like what people who oppose illegal immigration are saying, they point our it is racism. Give me a break latino groups. Because we say illegal aliens enter the United States without visas; as a result, they must be deported, is that racism? That is not racism. It is implement our laws. If you break the law, you must be deported. That is not racism. The politicians must stop listening to illegal aliens. And start implementing our laws. If they did that, we would not have illegal aliens in the United States.

Well, let's see. Sheriff Joe is the principal law enforvement officer in his county. Duly elected. There are criminals from Mexico stealing money on a daily basis. Obama wants their vote. Sheriff Joe wants to stop the crimes. No one in their right mind would support Obama and "Rat Face" Holder giving criminals a pass. If you don't like America's laws addressing Illegal Aliens, lobby your Congresscritter to make our immigration laws exactly like Mexico's.
